Anora was off duty yet she entered the training room of the ministry, her final auror test was coming up still and though she would get some practice in. She usually kept to herself while not in training. But off duty.. things were different.

She was wearing her own training clothes and not her usual Auror in training ones. Her own were much better, hidden pockets and charm to fit her perfectly.

Anora walked over the practice dummy and started running drills, focused on the task at hand, yet trying to keep a ear out for any surprises, with Alastor Moody one never new.

Anora. A promising and attractive young woman. Alastor was doing a lot to try and help this woman succeed in becoming an auror. With him as instructor, it wasn't that hard. Of course he didn't always find time to help Anora with her training. He was a busy man. But when that time did exist, Alastor used it well.

He kept hidden, as Anora started her little workout. He wasn't gonna do anything just yet. First, remain hidden and observe. Then strike. He was known for capturing a lot of dark wizards. And he did it not by being reckless, but by being keen instead.

Anora charged at the useless Dummy for a bit before becoming bored with it, decided to turn things up a bit and charmed it to fight back. However she felt like she was being watched and that made her more, suspicious.. She kept a hard eye out on her surroundings she could not see anything of course but she knew something was there. She had been trained to expect such things of course, perhaps her mind was playing tricks.. but she didn't believe that.

In the midst of her work out with the dummy she transfigured a bench into a dog, it's purpose to seek out her true and clever opponent.. She dearly hoped whoever it was would join her soon even with the enchantments on the dummy.. a real opponent was far more challenging.

A dog? Oh Anora... Moody thought with a smirk. He slipped his wand into his hand, and made the dog turn back into a bench, using untransfiguration. Every auror needed to know transfiguration and untransfiguration extremely well, because it was very useful on the field. Especially with rookies. Although Anora was definitely not weak.

Moody came out of his little hiding spot, with a smile. "You could do better than a dog 'Nora. It was easy for me to go through. Finish up that dummy so I can give you some real hard action!" He said, chuckling and leaning back. Anora knew who he was, but if she wanted to at least prove herself, she'd take down that dummy.

Anora noted her transfigured dog was turned back and didn't quite care, it confirmed she had been right all along so it still fulfilled its purpose. "Still proved you were spying on me Moody" she commented blasting the dummy in its center, one of it's arms falling off. The dummy's were not that hard, they couldn't injure an Auror, not really.. they were trained to go on with injuries if they could.. The spells an dummy could dish out were nothing..

She smirked "With pleasure.." she said spinning around dodging the a training blast from dummy and casting a disarming spell, followed by a petrification which caused the damned thing to drop, defeated. "About time" she said turning her wand on him. Dueling with Moody was better then a old training Dummy anyway.

That it did... He thought, gazing at Anora. A promising lady fighting a dummy. If you could call it fighting, since she was simply kicking its ass. Not that that was hard, since Moody would finish such dummy with both eyes closed, and only moving one arm. But still, she was winning the little face off.

As Anora turned to Alastor, he smirked, and chuckled loudly afterwards. "You want to take me on?" He asked, pointing his wand at the younger woman. "Let's do it then..." He said, swinging his wand, throwing a powerful knockback spell at Anora. Just to start off the sparing session.

Anora smirked, Of course she wanted to take him on, what better way to test herself then against the best of them out there? Other than against a dark wizard of course, but Alastor Moody had proven he knew how Dark wizards think with all that he had sent away.

She rolled aside from the jinx, she would not be taken down by a simple knockback jinx so early in this.. No that would be terribly disappointing. Then casts a body binding spell right back at him, body binding spells were her favourite spell left one unable to move or speak but still awake. She took to her feet again and kept moving with the lack of cover she had to keep moving a shield charm could only be so handy for much of the time.. there were ways around them after all, even she knew that.

Moody chuckled as Anora rolled out of the way. She still hit the floor in a way, so even if his spell missed, Moody had to at least chuckle. As the spell came at him, Alastor flicked his wand, and the body binding spell suddenly disappeared. Enchanted wind could easily make many spells get thrown away. As Anora made her way to him, Alastor flicked his wand yet again, as the bench came into the air. The protego charm could withstand only so much damage, so Alastor hurled the bench at his protege. Then, as the bench was on its way, Alastor cast Confringo, and a ball of fire escaped his wand's tip, enough to explode the bench, and take Anora for a ride.

Moody had to put up protections though. Anora was no hogwarts student. He pointed his wand above him, and a shield was formed. "Fianto Duri!" He said, strengthening the spell against other curses cast at it.

Anora smirked of course that would be too easy to expect Moody to fall victim to a spell a first year could do, and was not surprised by the sequence of events in his next spells and what more could she do but deal with them as best she could. This wouldn't beat her, not even close. Quickly she took and item out of her robes and transfigured it into a physical shield to protect herself from most of the exploded bench. She received a cut on her cheek from it but she didn't notice it quite yet, besides it was nothing.

"Not bad Moody" she muttered though smirked and made her move.. She could see the shield around him and she would be wasting her time and energy on spells against him like that. No.. she needed to be Creative. No direct spells for one, he was more then prepared for that.. No she needed to do something indirect, have him loose sight of her first, any advantage she could take.

"Lumos Solem!" casting a blinding amount of light around herself to obstruct herself from view while she took to cover. Was this a cowardly act? no, she wasn't leaving the fight, not a chance, but she wanted to regain the advantage, if she didn't have it directly she would get it like this. And she knew Moody would know she was still around, it was still possible she hadn't fooled him at all and he would be on top of her at any moment. She remained on alert and peaked out to catch sight of him, she cursed her self silently.. she shouldn't have let herself loose site of him either

As the bright light stopped Alastor from seeing what he wished to see, Anora, he quickly rolled out of his position. He had a nice trick up his sleeve. He put on one of his invisibility cloaks, the kind that only lasts for a few years he bought at Borgin and Burkes, and suddenly, his image dissipated from the vision of any observant watcher.

As Anora took a peak, Alastor held his chuckle back, as he slowly moved to her position. She wouldn't even be able to see him. How neat. Suddenly the cloak was removed, and Alastor cast the body bind spell at Anora. He was only a mere feet away from her, which caused him to smirk. It'd clearly be an unexpected move. But affective.

Anora cursed sightly to herself when she couldn't see him anymore, that was a total fail she berated herself self silently as she turned around on guard looking for Moody. He was totally on to her she could feel it. Yet she didn't want to make a sound just in case he hadn't found her yet. She held her wand steadily out in front of her. "Moody... you bastard where are you?" she whispered to herself. She respected the hell out of the man, but merlin he was frustratingly quite good at his job.

Then she saw him in all his glory standing in front of her looking triumphant. She quickly tried to cast a shield charm but she was one second to late and she felt her body lock up due to the spell and she fell over. One thing she knew, one could never get cocky while fighting with Alastor Moody...

Alastor smirked, sheathing his wand. He bent on one knee, looking down on Anora. She had put up a fair fight in the circumstances. And against whom she was up against. He slowly slipped her into his arms, and took her into one of the intact benches. There were worst places where she could wake up. The spell would pass soon enough. Anora'd wake up, and act like a nagger again. Just because Moody beat her. Well, today, Alastor had a plan to stop her ranting.

Soon the spell wore off and Anora found her self one of the benches, right Moody had beaten her, and damn easily to. Well she asked for it didn't she, she wanted to fight Moody and that is what she got, but merlin he was good.

She sat up and looked up at him "You are one tough bastard Moody, your reputation is well earned, I will put up a better fight next time though.. can count on that" she said stretching out the sore kinks in her shoulders and neck. She looked out over at Moody expecting a list of the things she did wrong and the what she should have done instead. She almost hoped for it, she had wanted to do better than that and she wished she had. To be beaten so easily was... well eye opening.

Alastor gazed at the younger woman, with different eyes. His eyes showed a new intention. "I'll be waiting on that fight. And Anora, you should know my reputation doesn't speak about all my qualities." Moody spoke differently. He sat closer to her, inspecting her body slowly. He put her hand on her shoulder slowly, looking down and up at her whole body. "Did my pounding hurt you?" He joked, with a softer tone.

Anora looked at Alastor is confusion and a bit of shock for a second, she was not expecting that.. last thing even, he was hitting on her?.. She had no idea he even looked at her that way.. Right so how to respond to this.. His arm was on her shoulder in a more than friendly kinda way, and his tone of voice was way different. She felt and looked off balance with this different Moody.. she wasn't about to reject him no.. Now that she thought about it he was ruggedly Handsome...

After a moment of thinking about it she pushed aside her surprise and caution... if this was what Moody wanted to play then fine. She only hoped... well she would have to see.

"Of that I have no doubt Moody.. Right now I admit your reputation doesn't speak to this side of you.." she said with a quirk of her eyebrow.

"And Hurt me?" she asked crossing her arms in a playful manor. "Please.. Moody I have been hurt worse by kittens" she returned, kitten had sharp claws after all... She had yet to notice a superficial cut on her cheek. But she didn't count that as hurt anyway..

" I wouldn't call that a pounding actually, you may have bested me but there is a difference." she said cheekily poking him in the chest since he seemed to want to get personal. If he were any other man she was think he was toying with her.

That side of him. Moody never let too many women into his heart. Or even lay down with them for that matter. He had to trust the woman, before even thinking about being in the same bed. Anora won that trust already, so Moody might as well try it.

"Oh" he purred onto her ear, poking her arm. "Kittens don't hurt as much as I do..." he said, caressing her cheek after noticing a small little cut.

"There is more than one type of pounding." he said looking into her eyes as she poked his chest. He smiled, looking up and down at his protege.

Anora breathed when he just about purred in her ear, she so not used to this side of Moody, merlin he better not be toying with her. If this went south her job could be in danger, and that was the last thing she wanted.

"That remains to be seen.. Alastor.." She said trying his first name for size, " You have not hurt me.. yet" she said with a smirk and folded her arms. He'd have to do better than that to soften her heart.

Anora looked at him with a quirked eye brow and shook her head, Merlins sake Moody don't know the meaning of the word subtle eh? She thought to herself, no it was time he learned she would simply not go to bed with him as easily a that..

There was a spark in the younger Aurors eyes, yet slightly guarded.. "Of that I am well aware Moody, however if you want that kind of pounding out of me.. you will have to soften me up a bit more" she said with a smirk as she got up from the bench.. She wasn't about to role over for him, she respected him and trusted him but this was all a bit... sudden for her.. and she wasn't the one night stand kinda girl.. She played for keeps.

Alastor got up at the same time as Anora, smirking. Ah, how she thought he simply wanted her body. He grabbed her hand, and pulled her slightly. "Anora...soften you up? You're not soft at all. You're a strong woman." Alastor stepped closer to her, after his little pull. "Strong and beautiful." Alastor said, as his eyes sparked with light.

Alastor did't wait anymore. He wanted to let Anora understand he wanted her for as long as he could hold her. Not for one simple night. So...he held her to him, and crushed her lips with his. Her reaction was surely gonna be amusing.

Anora blinked at his words, she certainly liked that better then his overly strong attempts at seducing her. That was what she wanted to hear from him, sexual innuendos for some reason made her want to play hard to get. And she would tease the one making them, but only tease.. This was much better she could hear the care in his voice this time..

She couldn't say anything to his words though, for her mouth was suddenly occupied with one Alastor Moody. She was shocked for a second before she kissed him back. Yet in her mind she was cursing him for catching her by surprise again, and stealing a kiss.. She had broken noses for doing the same action. When she pulled away glanced at Moody again taking a breath.. She blushed for reacting as she did, no better than a school girl..

"You're a Bastard Moody.. catching me like this... I should slap you.." she muttered shook her head, yet she kissed him back.. If he were any other man she would slap him, but for him she would make an exception..

Alastor noticed the way Anora kissed him in return, and chuckled to himself. Surely she also felt something other than admiration for her instructor. Alastor smiled as Anora pulled away, and her words

"You prefer using your lips to come close to me now...as do I" he teased, with a wink. They were alone. Showing each other's emotions wasn't that bad. In fact, Alastor was doing it for the first time in years. "I loved training you..." He said, with a kind tone.

Anora gave into a small smile, she hardly smiled to anyone, but this was different. She was starting to believe that he did care about her.. She would be terribly angry if this was all a joke. "Well.. It is a more pleasant experience than a slap... You probably still deserve one though" She said shaking her heard but the amusement now spread to her face. "But I can let it pass" she said, but no she couldn't slap him now not even if she really wanted to.

She quirked an eyebrow at his comment, she wasn't sure what was different about her, that made training her better.. "Why is that Moody? How did I get you without realizing it?" she asked still cautious but opening up a little more. She no longer stood stiff in his hold, and stood with him finally starting to realize how close they were.

" I enjoyed being taught by you.. perhaps I was wrong, and simply wasn't -just- the job... I liked so much" She stated perhaps she did have feelings for him for a longer time then she realized. She just never paid them any mind, guaranteed way to get hurt.. right?..

Alastor smiled weakly, bowing his head at Anora. "But it's not like you want to do it...I'm pretty sure you'd rather hug me instead." he said, letting out a loud chuckle as Anora said she'd let it pass. Obviously. Alastor understood she didn't want to hurt him at all. That kiss showed him that.

Moody shook his head at the sound of Anora's question, but still had a kind smile on his face. "I don't know...I simply realized I'm alone, and you were there with me everyday" and she was his student. Alastor left that out. He was sure she'd never betray him.

"I love teaching new aurors. They're gonna help me protect the world. But with you...it was different..." He explained. Alastor took his vest off, leaving him in his button shirt. He set it on the bench, as it squeezed him. Didn't give him enough freedom to talk. "You were different. I always wanted to have my body press against yours. I wanted to feel you closer!"

Anora chuckled at that and eventually nodded "Yes I would actually" she said as her arms trailed up to his shoulders and circled around, this was very different seeing this affectionate side to him. She supposed everyone saw him as kinda all round tough guy, the dark wizard catcher, bad ass auror that didn't take shit from anyone. Seemed kinda silly for them to think he wasn't human like the rest of them.

She still didn't understand what made her different, but she supposed it was rather difficult question to answer simply. She watched him take his vest off, she wasn't sure what it was about the action, but she didn't take her eyes off him. When he spoke his next works with such feeling she blinked and walked towards him again, wrapped an arm around his neck and her other hand came up to his face, to simply touch his face, then she kissed him. No words, she wasn't really thinking, she really wanted to understand why he wanted her.. and plus the sudden realization that Alastor was human like the rest of them suddenly made her realize how much she did care about him.. and she cared a lot.

Alastor felt a fresh flavor in his lips, and a sweet scent passing by his nose. Anora was close to him again. It made him shiver slightly, as he smiled. He slowly placed his arm around her waist, and put his other hand on top of hers, kissing her back. This woman was surprising. Probably the only thing that could still surprised Alastor Moody himself were women. They were just...complicated. Still, he was having some luck with Anora. And he was enjoying that. Specially since his feelings were truthful.

His hand traveled down from her waist to her rear, as he put on a grin, using his tongue to quickly taste the insides of Anora's mouth. He wasn't a man to hold back. In no situation would he do that. His other hand slipped down to her rear as well, as Moody squeezed it. He brought Anora up, so he could be holding her. He was liking where the situation was headed.

Anora felt heart beat quicken, she supposed this was really happening. There was the scared cautious voice in her head telling her this was to fast. That she would get hurt and her job would be on the line, Moody was her boss for Merlins sake.. But no she pushed the little voice away when Alastor held her and smirked. The little voice could shove it, she wanted a life worth living.. and be damned she would live with the consequence. She started to feel a strong connection to Alastor, it was hard to describe...

"Alastor?... We are in the training Room... Maybe take this somewhere more... Private?" She asked as her hands moved under the collar of his shirt and she undid the first button.. yes somewhere more private would be very nice. Anyone could walk in after all and she wasn't ready to do this in such a place. Even though they were alone right then, one never knew.
